Culpepper will have suitors for his talents

Just released quarterback Daunte Culpepper should find employment soon, and will have at least two or three teams interested in his services. With Michael Vick's legal troubles, Atlanta is one possibility, although both Vick and backup Joey Harrington had great minicamps under new coach Bobby Petrino. Another possibility is St. Louis, where head coach Scott Linehan was Culpepper's offensive coordinator while in Minnesota. With Marc Bulger in the final year of his contract, it could be a good fit for Daunte. The most likely scenerio would be for Culpepper to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Byron Leftwich is also in the last year of his contract, and his injury past and lack of mobility make him a lame duck starter. Plus, Culpepper's head coach from Minnesota, Mike Tice, is an assistant with the Jaguars.

Where will Keyshaun Land?

Speculation as to where free agent wideout Keyshaun Johnson will end up is running rampant, with various reports having him striking a deal with the Seattle Seahawks (who lost Joe Jurevicius) and the Carolina Panthers (who need someone opposite Steve Smith). But the name that seems to be coming from Keyshaun's camp is the New England Patriots. Although this may seem as a bit of a surprise, Johnson and Patriot head coach Bill Belichick have a great mutual respect for each other and the Patriots are in desperate need of an experienced receiver. As for Keyshaun's reputation as a "me first" type of player, just look no further than running back Corey Dillon. Labeled as selfish coming from Cincinnati, he's been nothing but a consumate pro and team player, despite a minor riff with the local media last season. Keyshaun to the Pats? Not as far fetched as it may sound.

Reports out of New York have the Jets interested in trading for Atlanta Falcons backup quarterback Matt Schaub. Schaub is in the final year of a 3 year, $1.85 million rookie contract. Included in the deal, besides draft picks, would possibly be Jets defensive end John Abraham. The Jets are looking to unload Abraham after having to franchise him a month ago. They also have just signed former Pittsburg Steeler defensive end Kimo van Oelhoffen to a more cap friendly deal than what it will cost to keep Abraham around. Then there is still the Patrick Ramsey to New York rumor as well. It continues to be an interesting first few weeks on the job for new head coach Eric Mangini.
